I have a question regarding this feature. I set this under the Global Profit/Loss Management. I set it to close positions at 16:55:00. 5 minutes before the close. It works fine, except in a few days it didn't close the position. (I was trying it in Demo) So I would like to understand what conditions must be met for this to work. For example what happens if the computer goes to sleep? Anything else I should know for this work?
Thank you.

That's local based, meaning you have to be connected and your computer has to be on. They did say that they could be looking into bringing back Global profit/loss management to have it server based though, so we'll see.

Just make sure your computer is on. You can disable your PC to never go to sleep.

Thank you. I figured that the computer going to sleep is the problem. I hope it goes server side; I will be using this regularly. Thank you again for your response.
